Nature-rich National Parks for everyone
We are the only independent charity dedicated to securing the future of National Parks in England and Wales. Our independence from government means we can speak out for Protected Landscapes when no-one else can. Our mission is clear: we’re here to unite, inspire and empower everyone to take action and enjoy wilder National Parks.

Right to Discover National Parks
Young people are faced with barriers such as limited public transport and few opportunities to connect with and have our voices heard for wild, nature-rich spaces. We're calling for 5 key changes to create a future where all young people have equal opportunity to discover, feel connected to and enjoy our National Parks.
Beautiful and thriving landscapes
We're passionate about National Parks. They're a stunning patchwork of habitats, countryside and communities which capture the diverse beauty of the landscapes in the UK.
"National Parks exist as a place where anyone can go and enjoy the countryside; an essential right we can’t afford to lose."

I only learnt what a National Park was last year. Since then, I’ve been to four National Parks so far and plan to get round to them all. For me, a National Park is a glimpse of the wider world and the wonders of Mother Nature. My ambition is to enable others like me to be able to experience going to National Parks.
